LEARN FIVE PILARS OF ISLAM
The Five Pillars of Islam
The Five Pillars of Islam form the core framework of a Muslim’s faith and practice. These pillars are Shahada (faith), declaring the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him); Salah (prayer), performing the five daily prayers to maintain a direct connection with Allah; Zakat (charity), giving a portion of one’s wealth to help those in need and support the community; Sawm (fasting), observing fast during the month of Ramadan to cultivate self-discipline and empathy; and Hajj (pilgrimage), undertaking a journey to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if financially and physically able. Together, these pillars represent the essential acts of worship and moral conduct that guide Muslims in their spiritual and daily lives.
